Single Cirpy 5o
untberry takes close look
titi.s annexation options
Ata special meeting last week,
members of Turnberry council took
a close look at what they might be
willing to give up in annexation
proceedings with Wingham — and
what they might want in return.
Although no decision was made
at last week's meeting, council
appears willing to consider allow-
ing the town to annex township
lands to the east and possibly some
Lower Town parkland.
What it wants in return is to be
able to retain 500 feet of commercial
property to the east, as well as out-
let for sewer and water hook-up for
township industrial lands near
Wingham's northwest corner.
Representatives of town council
met with Turnberry council early in
May to make an annexation pro-
posal. However, Turnberry has
received nothing in writing from
the town since that meeting.
What town representatives pro-
posed at that time was annexing:
100 acres of Turnberry land to the
east for residential development;
sgine+1.1.4jn1--91nr. T9WP, kr‘clyd-
.ing,x0sSibig Site.I0C anew trailer
park and several acres of indtiStrItil
land near the Western Foundry.
Reeve Brian McBurney and
Deputy Reeve Nelson Underwood
both said they did not favor giving
up any industrial land in the town-
ship.
In response to the argument that
the foundry needs land to expand
its operation, Mr. McBurney said he
had spoken to foundry owner
Richard LeVan about that very
issue. If he did want to expand the
operation, Mr. McBurney reported
Mr. LeVan as saying, he could just
as easily expand into Turnberry.
Although Councillors John Cox
and Mery Baker both said they felt
it wiiuld make more sense if the
foundry operation were located all
within one municipality, Mr.
McBurney and Mr. Underwood
claimed it would not make much
difference.
"I don't see why we need to give
up (industrial) property," said Mr.

Underwood. "A problem doesn't
exist at present and the factory
owner doesn't seem to think there
• is a problem."
Finally, after some fuOher discus-
sion, council membeil proposed
offering a strip of property east of
Wingham to the B-line, except :for
500 feet along Highway 86 to be
kept by the township for highway -
commercial development;
For discussion purposes, they
also proposed offering a parcel in
Lower Town from the Maitland
River along Helena Street to Patrick
Street in exchange for sewer outlet
to Turnberry properties along
North and Arthur streets.
"Let's try to be fair — but get the
best for the township;" suggested
Mr. Cox.
Turnberry still awaits notification
in writing of the town's proposal.
Township council may also hold a
meeting with its lawyer before sit-
ting down with town representa-
tives again.
